After chatting with Bai Longfei and the others for a while, I left Bai Longfei's dormitory. Standing in the corridor of the dormitory, I turned my head to look at the exit of the corridor, hesitating whether to go to talk to Bai Qi in the office. After thinking it over again and again, I sighed, gave up the idea, and turned to walk towards Lin Yingxue's dormitory at the end of the corridor.
Lin Yingxue has always been a strong girl. In all the time I have known her, I have never seen her so vulnerable. When I arrived at the door of her dormitory, I was a little afraid to knock on the door. I seemed to see Lin Yingxue crying sadly in front of me, and I felt very uncomfortable.
When I was standing at the door hesitating, Ding Yang and Pan An had already walked out of Bai Longfei's dormitory one after another. They all looked at me with weird eyes and smiled secretly, and then went back to their respective dormitories, with an attitude of "we won't disturb you".
After they both left, I hesitated for a few minutes before I finally mustered up the courage to gently knock on the door. My heartbeat instantly accelerated, and I listened quietly to my heartbeat and the movements in the house, waiting for Lin Yingxue to open the door.
But after a few minutes, there was still no sound in the room. I felt a little strange and thought that Lin Yingxue didn't hear me. I was about to knock on the door again when I heard the dormitory door in front of me suddenly open with a "click". However, after the door was opened, I found that Lin Yingxue was actually squatting at the door. No wonder I didn't hear any sound just now.
From the time Lin Yingxue entered the door to the time she closed it, she must have stayed at the door. Although she reached out to help me open the door, her head was always buried in her knees. Although I couldn't see her clearly, I could tell from her wet hair hanging in front that she was crying silently from beginning to end.
Even at this time, she still chose to leave her strength to others, and endured her fragility and sadness silently. She cried for such a long time without making any sound. Maybe she thought this was strength, but in my opinion, it was more heartbreaking than if she cried loudly to vent her feelings.
I walked into the room silently, closed the door of the dormitory, sat on the floor next to her, took out the tissue that I had prepared long ago and handed it to her, but she lowered her head and didn't see it at all. I could only sigh and put the tissue on the floor, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it silently.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life, so please accept my condolences. If you really want to cry, just cry out loud, and maybe you will feel better."
I didn't know how to comfort her at first. I planned to just say a few words of comfort and then accompany her silently. But before I could finish my words, Lin Yingxue, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up. I was so scared that I suddenly became nervous. I thought she was going to hit me, but she threw herself into my arms and burst into tears instantly!
Lin Yingxue's sudden action made me stunned for a moment. This was the first time I was so close to Lin Yingxue. I still remember that the last time I inexplicably took away her first kiss, and I was unconscious.
When she started crying, I heard several footsteps outside the door. I stood at the door and eavesdropped. Needless to say, it must be Ding Yang, Pan An and the others. However, I didn't have the heart to pay attention to them at this time, because I instantly felt the front of my clothes was soaked by my tears.
I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time, because the person who lay on my chest like this before was Zhang Qishan, but the feelings these two people gave me were completely different. It seemed like I had become accustomed to Zhang Qishan, or maybe she just had a hot-tempered personality, so when she lay on my chest, I just felt comfortable.
But now that Lin Yingxue was lying on my chest and crying, I felt my heart beating wildly like never before. I could almost see Lin Yingxue's head shaking slightly due to the vibration of my heartbeat, and it seemed that the whole house was echoing with my violent heartbeat.
My heartbeat was getting louder and louder, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, afraid that Lin Yingxue would laugh at me. But she was crying loudly and didn't feel my heartbeat at all. Gradually, I calmed down, reached out and hugged her with one hand, and gently touched her hair with the other hand to comfort her.
Many times when men encounter a situation like this, they will have wild thoughts or even take advantage of the situation. I am also a normal man, but now I don’t have any evil thoughts. I just hope that the person in my arms can get out of the sad mood as soon as possible.
"Why. Why did this happen? The teacher was my only relative. Before I could fulfill my filial duty, he died..."
Lin Yingxue sobbed and whispered. Hearing her painful words, my heart ached. I sighed and said, "Blame me if you want to. If it weren't for me, the teacher wouldn't have been involved in this trap. If you really feel uncomfortable, I can accept a beating, just don't beat me to death."
I knew Lin Yingxue wouldn't do that, so I didn't say anything else after I finished speaking. I just waited quietly for her to cry out all the sadness in her heart. During this time, the people who were eavesdropping outside the door felt that it was meaningless and returned to their respective dormitories.
Lin Yingxue cried for half an hour before she gradually stopped crying. I was already a little cramped from being pressed down by her. I reached out and slowly lifted her head up. I looked at her red and swollen eyes and her smudged eyeliner. I picked up the tissue next to her and wiped her eyes clean. While wiping, I stared into her eyes and said, "I know that my mistake this time is completely irreparable. I don't plan to ask you to forgive me. I can't accompany you these few days. You just stay in the special case team and wait for my good news."
After that, I smiled at Lin Yingxue, then stood up, turned around and prepared to leave. Lin Yingxue immediately stopped me from behind and asked, "What are you going to do?"
I opened the door and said, "He made you lose your only relative. Do you think I will just let it go? Give me three days. I will catch him with my own hands and make this bastard kneel down in front of you and confess to you!"
As I said that, I walked out of the dormitory without looking back. But just as I was about to close the door, I suddenly felt Lin Yingxue grab my hand from behind. I turned around and looked at her with some doubts, and saw that her eyes had returned to their usual indifference, as if nothing had happened just now. She slowly said, "I want to go too."
"No, you can't go this time. It's too dangerous! I was planning to go alone, but I don't have any power now. Besides, I'm a weakling. It won't be of any use if I go. So this time, Brother Long and I can go. You just stay here and wait for my good news."
"I also need to go."
Lin Yingxue repeated her answer again, with no change in her tone or expression, but she had already grabbed me with both hands, and I didn't know why she had to go over there.
I tried to persuade her a few more times, but she was completely determined. No matter what I said, she would only reply to me, "I want to go too." Looking at her firm attitude, I knew that I could no longer change her mind. I could only sigh and agree to her request.
Since Lin Yingxue was also going to join our 'anti-hunting' operation against people wearing evil ghost masks, I asked her to clean up first, at least wipe away her tears, and then gather at Bai Longfei's dormitory, where we would discuss how to get there. Only then did Lin Yingxue feel relieved, nodded, and turned back to her dormitory to clean up.
After she returned to the dormitory, I went to Bai Longfei's dormitory and told him what had just happened and that Lin Yingxue would also join in. I just concealed some details. Bai Longfei did not have any psychological burden, but just told me not to worry, he would definitely ensure Lin Yingxue's safety.
As Bai Longfei spoke, he had already opened the map on his phone and switched to a location in the imperial capital. He said, "Just now I have been thinking about where we should go this time. After searching for a long time, this place seems to be more suitable. It is close to Henan Province and is located in the mountains. At least in my opinion, this is a good place to kill people. What do you think?"
"I'm not familiar with this place. Brother Long, you decide. How long does it take to get from here to the place you mentioned?"
Bai Longfei thought about it carefully and said, "Let's rent a car this time. If we set out now, we should be able to reach our destination before dark. However, we may have some problems with food and accommodation. After all, it's such a remote place, and I don't know if there are any hotels or the like."
"Don't even think about hotels. I think there are probably none. We'll go see if we can find an empty house and try not to stay in someone else's home. After all, we're in great danger this time. Who knows if we'll bring disaster to others? Also, we'll set off in the early morning today and tentatively schedule our arrival time for tomorrow morning."
Bai Longfei asked doubtfully, "Why? Are you planning to sneak over there without telling the masked man? Wouldn't that go against our original idea? If he doesn't know where we've gone, how can we lure him out?"
I smiled and said, "This is not a difficult matter. Since the masked man was able to follow me to the hotel, it means that he was always keeping his eyes on me. Even if we set out in the early morning, he would probably know it immediately, so there is no need to worry about this matter."
"So what's your intention in doing this?"
I turned around and looked at the tightly closed door of Bai Longfei's dormitory. My eyes seemed to be able to see through the door in front of me. I said slowly: "I still have to verify one thing. As long as I can verify this matter thoroughly and successfully, I can really feel at ease!"
